'Rove will stay for at least a year... They will blame that poor girl for the ratings so they will replace her,' the Kiis FM host claimed revealing he listened to the programme for 20 minutes last week.

‘Where they have gone wrong with Rove is he just doesn’t translate on radio…the problem is most of his humour is in his facial expression and you don’t see it,' suggesting it leaves listeners confused.

KIIS FM's popular Intern Pete was quick to jump in and add a comment to Kyle's statement claiming the opposition had approached him to join their network.

‘They approached me on the break to see if I would make the switch,' he said while adding they questioned if he was happy at KIIS with Kyle and his co-host Jackie.
